Spending When You Feel Bad

When to use: Use this after a spend you did not plan on.

Worksheet prompts

1. What did you buy, and what was happening right before?
2. What did it give you in that moment?
   Relief, comfort, a break, feeling normal. All real.
3. How did you feel about an hour after?
4. Name three other things that give you some of that same relief.

This is not about being good with money. It is about what you needed.
